My key equipment for Livestreaming

I love this product. The only thing I wish was that it had 2 USB-C ports so I can record and use it for livestreaming at the same time. I don't want to buy the extreme version which has 8 camera inputs as its an overkill for me. Otherwise, this is a great product for livestreaming. The PiP function via buttons is just a joke where it does not let me use the size I want.. I hope they fix this in future firmware updates.

Great video switcher

This is a great switcher. I use for live streaming church services and I am more than pleased with the efficiency of this device. It switches between 4 cameras or HDMI devices, I use it with cameras and an NDI feed from my Mac and it does wonders. I can do lower this, picture in picture and even run macros using the included software. It works great and is definitely worth the price.

$200 Reduction in price made me buy it.

I had been eyeing the Mini for a long time and almost bought it a few weeks ago but decided to wait, and I'm glad I did. The Mini was discontinued and the Mini-Pro was reduced in price by $200 which was just enough of a reduction in price to make me buy. I own a lot of cameras. I hooked up four of them (Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Mirrorless, Pentax K-70 DSLR, Nikon D3500 DSLR, Canon T2i DSLR) and then played around with it. I was impressed with how well it worked and more so by how well it accepted the old Canon T2i and low-end Nikon D3500. I was most impressed that I was able to record to an external drive connected to the USB port of the Mini-Pro and how it just kept on recording when one of the four cameras suddenly shut down (dead battery). This is going to be a lot of fun to play with.

Desappointed

The purchase was smooth and what motivated me the most was the possibility of fast delivery (next day) due to the urgency I had. The problem is that after 3 days of purchase I still haven't received the product and apparently it will take at least 3 more days, that is, I won't get the product in the time I need it. Disappointed.

Great solution!

This is an amazing piece of tech that makes streaming so easy. More audio controls and a headphone out would be nice, but there are workarounds for these issues. Overall, I am very pleased!

ATEM Mini Pro

This device has upgraded my production quality in a tremendous way. It?s lightweight, portable and a production beast. The only thing I wish is that there were two outputs so that I could have a multi view AND a program out but for the price and quality, this device absolutely delivers!!

Good Product, but Clunky Workflow in Control Software

I like this encoder quite a lot - it is plug and play with my blackmagic cameras, and the switching / monitoring features are intuitive. I travel onsite for most of my work, so the fact that it is so lightweight and durable makes a huge difference. The control software however is not easy to use. The graphic overlay feature is especially time consuming. If Blackmagic does a major overhaul on the control software then I will have no complaints at all!

Mini Pro upgrade

Upgraded from the ATEM Mini to the Mini Pro and found the difference is significant with the ability to preview all inputs. Used this for a live production and would not have been able to do it near as well with the older Mini.

FANTASTIC DEVICE!

By Gary L.

This product works as advertised. It has made life much easier for me. It's not a high end switcher just based on the inputs and function capacity, so be sure to have your expectations in order. It's not made for high end productions. It's made for the prosumer market or record-to-web audience viewing on popular social media platforms such as YouTube & Facebook. It's great for me because I was using the Blackmagic Web Presenter as a pseudo switcher for a couple of cameras and was able to repl...

It can key green screen and titles stored in the computer. In the connected computer, audio, still storage and the video imputes can also be selected. Lim...

Live Stream via Ethernet on ATEM Mini Pro.

The ATEM Mini Pro model has a built in hardware streaming engine for live streaming via its built in Ethernet connection. That means you can live stream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch in better quality, without dropped frames and with much simpler settings. Just select the streaming service and enter the streaming key. There are palettes in ATEM Software Control for streaming setup and status, plus streaming status is also displayed in the multiview. Streaming status is easy to understand as the data rate indicator shows internet speed required for the video format you're using. If you're technically minded, you can even hack the detailed streaming profiles in the XML preference file and load new services.

Live Stream via Ethernet on ATEM Mini Pro.

Record Direct to USB Flash Disks with ATEM Mini Pro.

The ATEM Mini Pro model also supports direct recording of your streaming data to USB flash disks. That means you get very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, so you can direct upload to any online video site, such as YouTube and Vimeo. ATEM Mini Pro supports multiple disks when used with a USB hub or Blackmagic MultiDock, so when a disk fills recording can continue to a second disk for non-stop recording. Record settings and disk selection are set up in ATEM Software Control and there's a record status view in the built in multiview. You can even trigger recording on external Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras.

Record Direct to USB Flash Disks with ATEM Mini Pro.

Work with Professional Microphones.

With two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs, you can connect desktop and lapel microphones. You can even connect a music player to generate introduction music after the live stream commences but before the program starts. With 2 extra stereo audio inputs, you can ensure a host and guest both have lapel microphones when doing interviews. All audio inputs to ATEM Mini Pro include buttons on the panel for adjusting audio level and enabling inputs into the audio mixer. ATEM Mini Pro features a full Fairlight audio mixer and all HDMI audio inputs and both microphone inputs are all connected separately to the audio mixer so you can live mix from all audio sources.

 Work with Professional Microphones.

Secret Broadcast Features Built In!

While ATEM Mini Pro is easy to use, it's also hiding very powerful broadcast features! If you're interested in a career in the television industry, then ATEM Mini is perfect for training as it has the same features as switchers in high end broadcast studios. You get an ATEM Advanced Chroma Key, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, still store for graphics and much more! Simply run the free ATEM Software Control app on Mac or Windows while connected via USB or Ethernet to access the extended features of the ATEM Mini. With a little experimentation you can learn how to produce broadcast quality live production. Only ATEM Mini is a true broadcast switcher hidden in a tiny and affordable design!

Secret Broadcast Features Built In!

DVE for Picture in Picture, Transitions and Effects.

One of the most exciting features on ATEM Mini is the digital video effects processor, commonly referred to as a "DVE", that allows picture in picture effects and crazy DVE transitions! The DVE lets you create professional picture in picture effects with customizable 3D borders, shadows and lighting. The image quality is the same as high end ATEM switcher models and the DVE supports position, resize and scale, all in real time. The DVE can also be used to create amazing transitions with 16 different DVE squeeze and DVE push effects for adding excitement to your programming. The DVE features a "fly key" so you can use it with custom graphics to create graphic wipe transitions.

DVE for Picture in Picture, Transitions and Effects.
19461plugin-en_84653.jpg

Built-in Graphics with Photoshop Plug-In.

The built in "media pool" allows the loading of up to 20 separate broadcast quality RGBA graphics for titles, opening plates and logos. The media player is used to output the selected image so it appears as an extra internal video source for use in graphics and titles. You can even use still frames for complex effects such as graphic wipes. ATEM Mini can even grab stills from the video output and add them to the internal media pool. Graphics can be loaded via ATEM Software Control or downloaded directly from Photoshop using the ATEM Photoshop plug-in. The Photoshop Plug-in is perfect for graphics that change often, such as scoreboards, as you can download directly into the media player.

19461pluginen2_50951.jpg

Includes New ATEM Advanced Chroma Key.

For news or on-set presentation work, ATEM Mini is perfect as it has an upstream ATEM Advanced Chroma Key plus an additional downstream linear keyer! The chroma keyer is incredibly powerful and features a color picker to sample background colors for automatic generation of the key parameters. You get precise controls for edge and flare, and there is even a foreground color corrector so you can match the foreground and background layers for seamless compositions. The keyer can also be used for pattern and DVE keying. You can even use it for title overlays by creating graphics with a green or blue background and the keyer will knock out the green and make the background transparent.

Monitor Sources and Status with ATEM Mini Pro Multiview.

When doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, it’s very useful to see all your video sources at the same time on a single monitor. The ATEM Mini Pro model includes a professional multiview that lets you see all 4 video inputs, plus preview and program on a single HDMI television or monitor! Simply select M/V on the front panel video output control buttons to select multiview. Each camera view includes tally indicators so you know when each source is on-air, and each view also has custom labels and audio meters. You can also see the media player so you know what graphic is selected. Plus multiview even includes status for recording, streaming and the Fairlight audio mixer.

Monitor Sources and Status with ATEM Mini Pro Multiview!

Control and Color Balance Cameras.

For a more broadcast style workflow, you can remote control your cameras from ATEM Mini! Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models can work as studio cameras with control sent via the HDMI connection to ATEM Mini. That means you can control the camera settings as well as the camera’s color corrector from ATEM Software Control. Imagine changing ISO and tint, plus lens iris, focus and zoom, so camera operators can focus on the shot. There are two types of control interface, CCU layout for traditional tint color control and a DaVinci color corrector interface allowing the camera’s built in DaVinci color corrector to add incredible digital film "looks" to your live production.

Control and Color Balance Cameras.

Match Cameras with an ATEM Camera Control Panel.

When working on live production, it’s critical all cameras are perfectly matched with good color balance for a consistent look as you cut and transition between the different cameras. Go beyond software control by adding an ATEM Camera Control Panel to control all 4 cameras connected to your ATEM Mini Pro. Each camera controller includes a large LCD screen with soft buttons and knobs and a full set of professional controls for live camera adjustments, so you get a very clear indication of camera parameters. The large joystick allows direct adjustment of iris and rotates to set black level. There's even red, green and blue knobs for fine control of camera color tint.

Connect up to 4 Independent Cameras.

With 4 independent HDMI inputs, you can connect up to 4 high quality video cameras. Video cameras with HDMI outputs are dramatically better quality than simple webcams as they use higher quality lenses and have better low light sensitivity. All video sources will re‑sync to the switcher if they operate at different video standards so you don't have to worry about connecting video devices as they all just work. Cameras with HDMI often support interchangeable lenses so you can change to wide angle lenses for wide shots and zoom lenses for close‑ups. Imagine taking advantage of the low light capability of better cameras for theater production, weddings, school concerts and music videos.

Connect up to 4 Independent Cameras.
